Hi,
I’m the owner of a website that uses letsencrypt to manage the https connection.
I tried to renew my certificate, but when I digit:
certbot renew
I have this error:
Incorrect validation certificate for tls-sni-01 challenge.
My website is hosted on a ubuntu server 14.04 machine with apache as web server. Can you help me? Thanks!
EDIT:
I put here a screenshot that can help:
Hi. Could you provide more information, particularly the rest of the error message (what certificate was it?) and more about your setup?
Is the site using a CDN/load balancer/reverse proxy (such as Cloudflare or Nginx)? What about the configuration has changed recently?
Edit: Also, is Certbot using the --apache plugin or --standalone?
Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better.
My domain is:
I ran this command: certbot renew
It produced this output:
My web server is (include version):
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
No, I’m not using reverse proxy and the configuration is not changed recently.
I followed this guide to install ssl certificate:
The information:
My domain is: unishare.it
I ran this command: certbot renew
It produced this output: the output is very long, but the important part is “Incorrect validation certificate for tls-sni-01 challenge.”
My web server is (include version): apache2
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: digital ocean
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no, I manage my site by terminal
Do you have more than one virtual host defined in a single configuration file within /etc/apache2?
How can I understand if I have multiple vhost? I have to see in apache2.conf? If yes, where exactly?
The question applies to any file that you have there that defines virtual hosts. However, you could find all of them rapidly with
grep -ir VirtualHost /etc/apache2
Thanks, and what version of Certbot are you running?
How can I find this information?
Just run:
certbot --versionThe version is 0.17.0
@schoen any help? please
I’m a little unsure about what to anticipate the problem is; maybe @bmw can help you better here.
can you paste the full log rather than just the error message as it may lead to identifying the root cause
Can you provide us with
apache2ctl -S
output? Maybe you have mixed VirtualHost declaration with *:port and ip:port
e.g.: *:443 and x.y.w.z:443
That will be exposed by issuing apache2ctl -S
@mauriziomarini @ahaw021 maybe this image can help:
I don’t see any virtualhost, in your screenshot
Mmm very strange. How can I setup virtual hosts?
setup virtual host apache
sorry to be blunt but we live in an awesome world where the guide for everything is just a google away.

@ahaw021 I know google and I followed, many months ago, this guide.
